Risk

"You just heard in the Gospel that one must not love oneself so much as to avoid getting involved in the risks of life...Whoever out of love for Christ gives themselves to the service of others will live, like the grain of wheat that dies-but only apparently. If it did not die, it would remain alone. Only in undoing itself does it produce the harvest."

Oscar Romero

Death and Resurrection

"I do not believe in death without resurrection. If they kill me, I will be resurrected in the hearts of the Salvadoran people."

Oscar Romero

Resurrection

“A community which trusts in God rather than in the righteousness of its “cause” can always be crushed, but from that crushing will come resurrection. There is a hidden strength in being vulnerable, open, and non-violent, in being a people of the resurrection, knowing that we are loved and that God is guiding us, in all our fragility and littleness.”
Jean Vanier
